They were the 1st band I ever saw here in Vancouver mid 80’s. My dad took us kids, and I remember a smell in the coliseum. I asked my dad what that smell was..he says Andy, that’s marijuana! I was 15, but what a concert! Chicks shaking their tatas, great music, and everyone having a good time. Another great musician gone to soon..

Quoted from zr11990:Micheal Berry said today that the band was going to carry on using Dusties guitar tech.
Dusty's style of bass playing was not complicated. But it was so effective. With Billy and Frank still onboard, and everybody knowing the score, it will work.
Sad news. They had such a fun, distinctive sound.
I’m listening to their greatest hits now as I build my patio gazebo, and I forgot how wholesome their music was. They encouraged guys to be sharp dressed for the ladies, and even wrote songs about giving a pearl necklace to your gal. And for ease of convenience, a song about the Velcro fly!
Quoted from romulusx:Thank you sir
You are welcome. I took a chance that someone may have not seen them at Crossroads.

Don't forget they also had a song about TV dinners.

And Mexican taco trucks. I give you..... Crunchy!
I was never really "into" ZZ Top ( though I loved the chicks in those videos), but I liked most of the stuff during their MTV heyday in the 80s. Picked up their greatest hits CD a while back and threw it in during a playfield swap and just kept hitting rewind. Some heavy sounding stuffed in there, I was pleasantly surprised. Made me wish I'd climbed aboard earlier and seen them live.

I know it's a dusty thread but ZZ is really all about Billy Gibbons' sick guitar tone and playing. Probably while they are likely to continue even though they really should hang it up.

Dusty and Frank are what an accomplished guitar player like Billy dreams about. Rock solid steady rhythm that lets the lead guitarists go where ever their fingers take them.
Dusty sang half the vocals also.
Does the new guy sing?
Or will they use tapes of dusty? They have them.
